In preparation for this publication, author Arthea J.S. Reed spent
time with Norma Fox Mazer, the widely acclaimed young adult
novelist, who works with not only her husband, but her daughter as
well. The book explores the facets of Mazer's works which mirror
her own life. In Norma Fox Mazer: A Writer's World, Reed chronicles
her discovery that, although her husband and his work are
thoroughly intertwined with and complimentary to her own, Norma Fox
Mazer "is fiercely independent-a feminist." Reed was fortunate
enough to be able to include Mazer's voice in this work as a
compliment to her own thorough autobiographical and critical
articles. Written primarily for those who are looking to garner a
true understanding and appreciation of the craftsmanship behind
Mazer's work, readers will also discern where the author stands in
the context of the history of young adult literature. Reed provides
a chronology of Mazer's twenty books and several awards, a selected
bibliography, and a helpful index. The seven chapters of the book
are titled: The Roots of Realism, Missing Pieces and Outsiders,
Star-Crossed Love, Norma and Harry: Relationship, Romance and
Writing, Writing for Young Readers, Fantasy and Suspense, and From
Excellence to Mastery.
